Anyone else already feeling sick with nerves or just me??

[Jaded No More 68,867]

I’m gonna say it now… if we lose to Geelong next week I’m calling time on the year 2021.

[Nelo 813]

Geelong hold no fears. Expecting a 5 goal + result. 

[DubDee 25,659]

I was feeling nervous then my mate sent me this screenshot 

 

[DeeSpencer 25,464]

The Cats had us covered until they started resting their stars at 3/4 time last time we met. It's going to be a huge test. They've definitely improved their side with their changes this week as well. 

Sounds like our boys had a good first week in the hub, getting some much deserved rest, but it has to be all business from here. 

[dees189227 12,373]

Ok to all WA demons fans. We implore you to get to Optus next week, drown out the cats fans and get our boys over the line into the big one. Do it for all of us dees fans that are stuck in other states in particular here in Victoria where we cannot move. 

 

[Colm 2,089]

We got this folks.

Esava makes more formidable structure

[layzie 33,752]

Please dear lord make me feel better this time next week.

I agree. If that's the best Geelong can dish up we win comfortably.

Goody cracked a bottle of red at halftime tonight. 

[Wrecker46 2,963]

Oliver won't let us lose.

This is rubbish, propaganda driven by Geelong people.

The only time they "had us covered" was the 20 minute patch in the second quarter where they dominated stoppages and kicked 6 goals.

If anyone had anyone covered the rest of the game, it was us covering them.

And they didn't rest anyone. Dangerfield was (allegedly) sick and spent time on the bench in the fourth but that was it.

Why do people have to minimise our win?

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Did not want to play Geelong again but if we play at our best we will win and win big.

[Vitamin Dee 863]

With the Rat brought in by the Cats, I think Smith will stay in to release Lever. 

[dl4e 5,851]

I have just watched a pathetic semi final so why is my MFCSS running so hot ?

[Demonsone 2,035]

Need to play Hibbered, Smith is too lose

[Jibroni 4,987]

Not worried, Geelong were average tonight.

If we cant beat them comfortably (4-5 goals) then we wont win the flag.

Are we not forgetting they played with basically their full squad against the Giants who were missing, Toby Greene, Tom Green, Jessie Hogan, Sam Reid, Xavier O’Halloran, Brent Daniels, Nick Shipley and Braydon Preuss.

Yes my MFCSS is in overdrive right now but having said that the Cats were lucky not to face a fully fit Giants outfit and it’s not surprising they won by 35.

I'm trying to slap myself out of the feeling that we're going to win this easily and put ourselves in a Grand Final. Surely, surely not?

Yep, full strength minus Stewart (and Parfitt going down early). Plus had the extra day break, and didn't exactly exert themselves last week whereas GWS played a hugely intense game vs Sydney.

My MFCSS is also strong right now, but objectively there are plenty of reasons we can/should be confident.

[Demon_spurs 1,833]

Struth I hope we don't get those umpires next week, kept Geelong in it al night

 

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

I want to tear these acting [censored] a new one, send them to the retirement home

[dazzledavey36 54,277]

Definitely a huge worry game for me.

Last time they didn't have Touhy, Duncan and Rata. 

Joel Smith will stay now especially Big sav down there. Bowey for me is still the vulnerable one down back. I said Hibbo last week but if Jayden Hunt is ready then I'd bring him to give us some speed out of the back half.

Our defence and mids have to be really switched on from get go.

[whatwhat say what 22,696]

so they'll definitely lose parfitt and bring back...higgins? simpson?

losing parfitt is massive for their mids as he's starting rotation

can't see stewart or o'connor being a threat

they spent a fair bit of timing just bombing it forward with those foursome of talls - hawkins, cameron, ratugolea, rohan - up front but i think that plays right into our hands, particularly if rohan pushes up the ground to use his pace and allows lever to zone off
